Challenges and Innovations in Computational Astrophysics VII
An Online Meeting covering all areas of Computational Astrophysics
November 17 - November 19, 2026
Online (Zoom)
Rationale:
This is the 7th edition of the ChaICA series of meetings on computational astrophysics organised by IAU Commission B1: Computational Astrophysics. The meeting provides a forum especially for early-career researchers to present to their peers their work on computational algorithms, methods and new software projects. The talks can be a mix of both numerical methods and scientific results, but the focus of the meeting is on the computational and programming aspects. It is less formal than a scientific symposium, and so presentations on work-in-progress that does not yet have any scientific application/results are warmly welcomed.
